Description
Topic of this video: Complex Numbers
Unit: Radicals, Exponents, Complex Numbers, Factoring
Course: Algebra 2
Video Duration: 16 minutes and 32 seconds
This video:
- Explains the definition and concept of Complex Numbers, introduces the Complex Number family and explains the a + bi notation
- Explains the powers of i and why the powers are cyclical
- Goes over two examples of simplifying powers of i
- Goes over an example of how to simplify radicals with negatives in the radicand
- Goes over an example of adding complex numbers
- Goes over two complex multiplication problems, one distributing a monomial to a binomial and the other multiplying two binomials
- Defines complex conjugates and shows how multiplying by a conjugate simplifies to a rational number
- Goes over two examples of rationalizing the denominator
Hello! I created this video for students to learn this topic independently. This video is a tool you can use to teach, preview, reteach, or just have as an additional resource. The video uses student-friendly language and explains topics as simply as possible. If you’re teaching remotely, this video is invaluable.
The video consists of my hand-written pdf file of my notes, and as I explain each concept and example, I point an arrow to the work I’m explaining. In the videos, I do not show my face, nor mention any names, nor show any photos, just the math is shown and my voice is heard. Thus, this video can be used in any classroom. All videos are in English. When you purchase this, you will receive a zip file which includes the video and the pdf of the notes which are explained. What you see as thumbnails for this product is the pdf file.
I usually assign a video as homework and ask students to write down everything for their own notes. I then check their notes as evidence that they completed the assignment- but of course, you’re welcome to use this resource in any way you want. During in-person schooling, I have a flipped classroom and my videos are crucial to its success. In remote learning, I use the videos for every topic I introduce, and students find them extremely helpful.
I hope my videos can help you out too!
